Opinion

No. 56241.

July 31, 1974.

APPEAL FROM SCOTT DISTRICT COURT, R.K. STOHR, JUDGE.

Johnston, Penney Bray, Iowa City, for appellant.

Newport, Newport, Wine Buzzell, Davenport, for appellee.

Heard before MOORE, C.J., and LeGRAND, REYNOLDSON, HARRIS and McCORMICK, JJ.


Petitioner-wife appeals from the property settlement and alimony provisions of the dissolution decree entered by the district court.

We have studied the arguments, appendix, and the full transcript of the trial below. An extensive factual recital would add nothing to our jurisprudence. Trial court properly applied those guidelines from Schantz v. Schantz, 163 N.W.2d 398, 405 (Iowa 1968) still viable following In Re Marriage of Williams, 199 N.W.2d 339 (Iowa 1972). We conclude the decree should be affirmed.

Petitioner has submitted an itemization of her attorney fees on appeal and claims respondent should be required to pay the total amount. In view of the financial resources of both parties and the property disposition made, we allow petitioner the sum of $1500 to apply on her attorney fees, to be paid by respondent within six months from the date of filing of this decision.

Affirmed.
